It’s all happening in Shipwrecked: Rescued by Jesus, coming Summer of 2018!

It’s no secret that there’s something sacred about game days and football here in the south. We love to celebrate big during game days, and we especially like to show up and show out during championship games, playoffs and bowl games! We’re still living it up big after a majorly successful year of collegiate football here in the great state of Alabama, but now we’re switching gears and are huddling up for The Big Game at the professional level coming up in February!

Walking into the new year, I was a little bit disappointed in myself for not making as many game-changing resolutions to hold on to for 2018. I’m typically one to make out my goals and resolutions well in advance and have them on display in my office for me to look at every day. However, seeing as how I kept my head in a toilet nearly all of the month of December (morning sickness is for the birds, y’all) I feel like I was doing pretty good to jot down just a few simple and out of the box goals I wanted to move towards in 2018.

Things are finally starting to settle down a little bit here in the Tucker house. November was quite a whirlwind as we were busy putting the finishing touches on our brand new home that was being built, packing up all of our belongings to move, and hosting my family in our new abode just 2 days after we moved in. Whew, I get a little dizzy all over again just thinking about all of those things again! It’s definitely good to finally be settling down a bit, that’s for sure.

Valentine’s Day Pillow Covers to Fall in Love With!

Once the Christmas decor is taken down from the shelves in stores, heart shaped boxes of chocolate, stuffed animals and candy hearts immediately start taking their place in preparation for Valentine’s Day. In previous years I’ve never decorated much for Valentine’s Day, but it’s mostly because I’ve never found much Valentine-y decor that I actually liked. A few years ago I posted a roundup of a few of my favorite Valentine’s Day Farmhouse Decor finds that I scored on Amazon (my favorite place to shop) and this year I was really pleasantly surprised at their selection of pillow covers!

Let’s talk about goals, shall we? Goals and resolutions are two popular buzz words that always float around during this time of year, and people have been busy planning out all of the things they hope to accomplish or change as they start another trip around the sun. I, too, make a list of goals that I want to accomplish every year, and I love being surrounded by true goal-diggers who help keep me motivated long past the end of January. I’m not typically one who can persevere through obstacles on her own without a little support from friends and family, so having a cheer squad to help me achieve my goals is pivotal for me.

We’ve been moved into our home for exactly 6 days now. I use the term “moved in” pretty loosely, seeing as how so much of our stuff is still in boxes and is very slowly beginning to be opened. We moved into our brand new home that we’ve been building for a full year exactly 2 days before family came over to stay the night for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was such a joyous time to get to host my family in our home that we’re so very proud of, but there’s no denying that it was pretty stressful, and my body felt like it was moving non-stop day in and day out!

With the new year kicking off soon, I’ve been in the process of shifting gears from all of the holiday madness to game day central in my my house. Some of the biggest football games of the year are happening very soon, and my family is pumped to be rooting on our favorite team in a bowl game at the start of the year!…

We’ve been a bunch of busy bees buzzing around our nest getting things ready for a family Christmas gathering taking place at our house tonight! Even though we’ve been in our brand new home for less than a month, there was still a lot of tidying up that needed to take place (and a lot of cardboard boxes that needed to be hidden away in the closets, let’s just be real!)

One of the things that makes the holiday season so merry and bright is celebrating and spending time with friends, family and those you hold dear. We had the privilege of hosting my family in our new home for a few days during Thanksgiving, and while things will look a little bit different for Christmas, we’re still fortunate enough to host a party this week at our house filled with many of my family members that don’t get to see each other very often. It’s something we’ve all been looking forward to for a long time now, and I’m so happy that I get to have the role as host of the gathering!
